Vamana Karma, also known as medical emesis or medical vomiting,[1] is one of the five Pradhana Karmas of Panchakarma which is used in treating Kaphaj disorders.[2]
Only a limited number of high-quality clinical trials have been conducted to date. Common limitations include low sample size, inadequate descriptions of randomization and blinding protocols, inadequate descriptions of adverse events, and nonstandard outcome measures. In spite of this, preliminary studies support the use of panchakarma and allied therapies and warrant additional large-scale research with rigorously designed trials.[3]
